Nightcap Hour 2: Raptors TIE UP Series vs Cavs + Celtics TRAMPLE the Sixers + Anthony Edwards Has BONE BRUISE in Knee

23:08Shannon Sharpe:I think especially on the road, you need James and Donovan to play well, and when they don't, you're going to lose, period, point blank. I'm not counting on Jared Allen to give me anything on the road and Evan Mobley. That's what's disappointing, though. I mean, I look at every Mobley. I see I see a young AD, a guy that can shoot the three. You know, he's a damn good defender because he wasn't defensive player. He can shoot the three. He can put the ball on the floor. He can rebound. He give me this. Eight. I ain't gonna lie. I expect more. I expect way more out of Mobley. You know, I know James and Donovan.

23:45Shannon Sharpe:They're going to play. They're going to play pretty good at home. It's the road is where you really need James and Donovan to be effective. and uplift the guys around them and make them better. And they hadn't been able to do that in Toronto. Nick Wright tweeted, James Harden has now had back-to-back playoff games with more turnovers than field goals. That means now he has 44 playoff games in which he has more turnovers than field goals. Damn. Well, they keep a staff for every goddamn thing. Oh, yeah, they ain't playing, bro. They ain't playing. And, you know, they scrutinize you too, especially James, because they understand the situations that he's been in in the past and the postseason.

24:26Shannon Sharpe:So they're going to watch every time he get in the postseason, bro. It's kind of like when you look at Lamar Jackson, it's like, damn, we know he's going to be great during the regular season. But hell, in the postseason, can he win us some games? Can we get to the Super Bowl? You feel me? Yeah. It's similar to that. Don't get canceled now. You can't say nothing. Huh? You can't say nothing. Don't say that. Don't say what? What you just said. about uh uh lamar jackson yeah what

24:56i ain't i ain't even hear what you said joe no joe said to you hey yeah we know he's gonna be

25:01Shannon Sharpe:great but can't he win us a playoff game uh because but you didn't say that about jerry you didn't say that about uh uh uh allen you didn't say that about joe burrow you know i'm saying you got to have a what about ism so i want you to get counsel joe because right now they really liking you with uncle ocho so i want to keep that going so let's let's refrain from that hey i'm just saying i'm saying here uh joe burrow them ain't even got there oh they can i get canceled every year hold on hold on joe oh joe you need a new partner you need to get rid of oh joe hey joe we done been to a super bowl joe we just lost the game i know but i'm saying in recent years the past two years oh joe y 'all ain't been in no Super Bowl.

25:45Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Nah, no. Y 'all ain't been in the playoffs. Hey, Joe, hold on, Joe. This ain't mad. It ain't easy to get there. I know. I'm saying the playoffs. I'm saying we stay on Lamar Jackson about him not winning the game in the playoffs, getting to the Super Bowl. I'm just using that analogy, bro. I mean, you right. I stay on top of everybody, Joe. Okay. Honestly, I ain't really got no room to talk shit. I ain't even been there. I'm a sit-in my damn self. You did go there. You played in the game. You called the pass. Man, that shit don't count. It don't count. You in the record books. Nah, that don't count.

26:18I'll tell you what, if y 'all would have won,

26:20Shannon Sharpe:would you have accepted your ring? Absolutely. Huh? On my ass. You heard what you said. Man, I would have probably, hey, honestly, Unc, like, honestly, Joe, I got an AFC ring. I left it in storage. If I had a Super Bowl ring, I probably would have left that in storage too. No, you ain't. Nah, you wouldn't have done that with you. Joe, Unc, I'm telling you, I swear for God, I don't know what's wrong with me. Once the game of football ended, I did not care about any of that stuff. But you got Cincinnati bingo stuff hanging up. Why you got that hanging up? Where? You got it in your house, so you ain't got no paraphernalia, no bingo gear in your house.

26:58Hold on. That's all I got. Hold on.

27:05Shannon Sharpe:Something wrong with this dude, bro. I work hard for everything. I'm keeping my stuff. Yeah, I got plenty of stuff.

27:20Shannon Sharpe:What are that jersey that they gave you when they put you in the ring of fame? Shoot, I think French Fry Mama got it. Oh, you ain't getting that, baby. I don't want it. Hold on, hold on. Yeah, she said, come get it.

27:38Hey, hold on. Hey, Joe.

27:41Shannon Sharpe:What's up?

27:48dude this is all i got man

27:52i'm keeping all my stuff hey and then joe ain't none of ain't none of it my stuff is i got i got all the player stuff and this this from a game room like when they do the back

28:03Shannon Sharpe:yeah man they ain't doing no game rules get your hey hey put that put that ish back and get your ass back on the microphone because you ain't gonna get that thing done you've been talking about that since november it was supposed to be done in january hey february march and we are in april hold on and when it get done i want you to keep that same energy and i want you to say sorry i apologize no i ain't gonna say that because that thing was supposed to be done six months ago hey um he he sent me the whole little makeup of what they supposed to be doing he done put that we done he done had ash to show the makeup he done sent the makeup to me and ain't got nothing The man trying to build his own arcade center and everything.

28:41Shannon Sharpe:Damn. And then he's going to talk about, man, I had him to draw it up, but it costs too much. Boy, don't nobody do nothing for free.

28:55Shannon Sharpe:Hey. I mean, the thing that really helped me is that this was an office. When I got the house, this was a guy's office. So, I mean, it's still because I got lighting in here. I got cameras like for ESPN and everything. Yeah. But it costs money. Yeah. Hey, hey, Uncle Joe. Hey. What? Hey, I know it costs money, right, Joe? Listen, listen. Joe, you know how I am, right? Joe, I'm very financially savvy. Joe, you ain't know me personally, but you know about me. You know, word travels really fast, especially how I've been over the years when it comes to money. One thing about it, if it costs a lot, I'm very cautious and very reluctant to be able to spend it, even though it's there.

29:35Joe is sitting in all my accounts, right? I just, hey, Joe, I hate to see it go out there counting, Joe.

29:42Shannon Sharpe:I get it, Ocho. Like, Joe, it hurt, Joe. You do realize, like, nightcap make you money. Huh? Nightcap makes you money. Hey, nightcap. It's a tax write-off. You do realize you can write it off because you're using this as a workspace. Hey, I know that, too. I know that, too. That's why I'm going to get it done. Huh? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you got all that. See Joe, he got all that white furniture. He got a piano, he got the big TVs, but he won't invest nothing for night camp. I do. And people keep, man, why won't you do this for, man, Ocho grown. We done sent Ocho a sign, we sent Ocho all the stuff, Ocho got the same camera that I have.

30:20Shannon Sharpe:The exact camera. Hey, why his sign look like Waffle House sign no back there, huh? Why it look like that? Hey, Joe, I need Jordan to come down here and set the settings up on my camera. so when I turn that on it don't be distorted. People in the chat tell me turn your camera on. I mean come on man. You already know it's distorted. It don't look like Unk's on. I don't know why. I think maybe Unk nightcap sign maybe it sit a little closer. Maybe it's his backdrop. He's like he got a different backdrop. Yeah but you I got brown. Yeah. So it's gonna it's gonna light better. And that's the thing you gotta factor that in.

30:57Don't worry about mine.

30:59Shannon Sharpe:You might as well just go ahead and get you a green screen. Hey, you know what? Hey, remember how funny Marco was acting like he was in New York? Yeah, he had a green screen. Yeah. Hey, I should do that and have different backgrounds. Yeah. I'm gonna do that. Hey, where'd I buy a green screen from? Hey, Joe, where you get green screen from, Joe? I don't know, Joe. Yeah, I need somebody to know how to do that kind of stuff. Cause it's just me and my daughter here, man. I don't know how to do all that. Are you gonna say that? So in other words, you're not going to get it set up, though. So you're going to buy a green screen, so you're not going to set it up.

31:35No, no, no, no. Dude, dude coming to Duma. Matter of fact, look, hey, watch this. It's so funny. I can tell you all my business because we family, so I don't even care. Hold on, hold on. The dude texted me today, right? What time this was?

31:48Shannon Sharpe:And you texted back and said, what? Hey, listen. Hey, Friday, May 13th. Hey, Ocho, I would like to clear. Wait, no. That's not. We're not in March. May 13th? My bad. May 13th of 2025 because May 13th, 2026 hasn't happened yet. I had to scroll down. Relax. That was last year, 25. Okay, go ahead. Listen, I'm talking about no. He just hit me there today. Hey, Ocho, how's everything? I have some idea how we can figure out your project without having to send a deposit if you're still interested. Ain't nobody going to send you to do that work. If the man send me, how you going to tell me and the man just text me right here, what are you going to do?

32:28Shannon Sharpe:So you do him like that woman did them people that reported allegedly she had the people do the roof or the landscaping and then call ISIS. Hey, for real? Man. No, I don't do that. I can see why he ain't going to be in business long. I don't know nobody that ain't taking a deposit, especially when you building something in somebody's house because you can't get it back. Hey, can you listen to me real quick? The man has done everybody's stuff. Joe, this ain't just know anybody, Joe. a chat. Look at, if you got Instagrams, let me show you how good the dude is. If you got Instagrams, go to, I think I showed too.

33:10We're not denying that he's not doing it. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Dope Gaming Setup. That's the Instagram name. And so I think the fact that he wants to do the project to be able to post, for me to be able to post the project, and then when I'm doing nightcap he we get to see his work in the background that's more valuable for more business as opposed to me paying yeah guess what i might give you a discount but i ain't doing that ish for free yeah i i'm i'm gonna pay something anyway especially when he doesn't like you gonna pay anything because he is reading the message up it's may 13th no i was i had to scroll down

33:47Shannon Sharpe:so what is may 13th so no matter how hard you file you had to scroll down where did the May 13th come in at? That was last year. Exactly. But it's not smart business for someone to do a project without a deposit. Actually it's smart business depending on who you're doing the project for because there's so many eyes it's going to be able to see it. So many eyes. Hey Chad did y 'all go check out his Instagrams? Yeah, I'm looking at it. He got some nice stuff on there, Ocho. Hey, that's crazy. Crazy work, right, Joe? Yeah, yeah. What? Hey, I might not ever leave my leader. I don't leave this room nowhere as it is, but when he get that work in here, I ain't going nowhere, boy.

34:35Shannon Sharpe:Well, good luck. I sure hope you get it sometimes in the very near future. I got you, hon. I got you. I got you. And I'm going to tell him to charge you an extra$5 ,900 for me. Get me mine. Oh, hey, I told you, hon. If you need that$5 ,900, man, I'll send it to you right now. Yeah, I thought he'd been trying to get it for the past three years. He ain't really want it, Joe. He was just talking. He know he good. He know he good for it. Hey, you might be trying to do BB like an old boy. Don't want to give me my deposit.

35:08Shannon Sharpe:Old fella can't even get a deposit. I don't know who doing work without a deposit. Hey. Hey, I don't. Ocho, you said it's only 80 grand. 80 grand? Only? Damn. Ocho, but you do realize he has to buy the material. Oh, yeah, I think he's going to do that. He's going to do that for your boy. Yeah! He's going to do it for my boy. He's going to do it for your boy. It's not like you got the material. It's not like, Ocho, that would be like somebody saying, okay, he got to buy the car to wash. At least you do supply the car for him to wash. Right, right. a man to bill you something don't he ain't got no materials so he got to go buy the material you know what i think a good thing is you know what the thing is is the fact that you know what i kind of went cold turkey and didn't say nothing and all of a sudden you know what he really wants to do the project so he texted Dave and said what he said and i got excited i said man listen i fucking love you i have some other ideas we could do without you having to send a deposit i said well cool let's do that and i think if it's if the if i see the stuff up in here and i see the awesome work that they do do you know what i ain't gonna have no choice but to pay yes i ain't gonna have no choice but to pay so i like i like it i like it that way instead yeah i mean but look i mean when you get when you get in an office or you're setting up something for work it's tax right it has to be the right lighting you need to have the proper backdrop right because you don't want to mur you don't want a moray in the backdrop especially if you're on it like we're on this yes and so when i was when i had this set up i had to make sure it's like okay i'm taking with espn okay how's this lighting?

36:45Shannon Sharpe:How would this look in the backdrop? How is this going to be? Because the last thing, if I'm on a show, I'm doing 120 shows a year, the last thing is I want it verberated. Or it don't look like, man, damn. It looked like he had a hole. He looked like they got him as a hostage or something. So you have to factor all that in and you want to have room to put on, to display your trophies. And like you say, you don't really have any memorabilia, but I wanted my helmets to be on display, even though you can't see it now because all the trophies done blocked out everything. Yeah. So the memorabilia had to take a backseat to the trophies because I'm in a new phase, new stage now, guys.

37:26Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. I like it. The Celtics for Joel Embiid's return. Support for the show comes from Public, the investing platform for those who take it seriously.

42:00Shannon Sharpe:Action. After the appendectomy, he beat the 76ers to take a 3-1 lead. Peyton Pritchard made six of Boston's 24 three-pointers, and he scored 32 points. Jason Tatum had 30 points and 11 assists. Joel Embiid had 26 points in 34 minutes just 17 days after having an emergency appendectomy. Bro. Seltzer's got too much. They do, Joe. They just overwhelm you with their pressure and their three-point shooting, Ojo. You got to hope that they ain't hitting on all the cylinders tonight. Hell, they couldn't miss. Hey, and I had the nerve to sit on here and talk about I could beat Pritchard in one-on-one. I told you.

42:49Hey, don't let me do that no more, man. I told you. Joe, I don't know what I would think of Joe. You know, you see someone, I'm like, you look at him, you're like, oh, man, I'll watch him. Joe, I mean, he's been cutting up ever since I said that.

43:01Shannon Sharpe:Same thing with T.J. McConnell. People look at him and they're like, oh, the little white dude, man, okay. Right. That Joe getting the NBA playing major minutes for a reason. Yeah. Hey, it's the same. Ocho, what did they say about them little, hey, man, I'll cover such and such. Okay, cover such and such. Yeah, yeah, all right. Nah, hey, Peyton Pritchard like that, bro. Man, Brandon Stokely, Wes Welker, Beasley. Man, I DM, I said, okay. Yeah, no, you won't. Yeah, yeah. Oh, the man had 32 off the bench, Joe. Yeah. How you scoring 32 off the bench? Hey, that's a guy coming off the bench, Ocho, who really looks at it like, man, I could be starting for real, but I'm going to accept my role because I know the chances of us going back to the NBA Finals are very high.

43:55Shannon Sharpe:You feel what I'm saying? Hey, but on another note, with Philly, this is why I tell y 'all, you know, the guards, I know Maxie played pretty good tonight. Yeah. But when Embiid is out there, okay, Ocho, one of them suffers, bro, every time. You know what I mean? I mean, VJ just come off, what, a 30-something point game, and then it's like because you force feed Embiid to start the game, because you're trying to get him in rhythm. You're trying to get him some shots. You're trying to create the mismatch so much. Nobody else gets in rhythm, bro. Nobody. I mean, hell, outside of Maxey, for real, Paul George has been consistent with 16 to 18 tonight.

44:30Shannon Sharpe:You know, he's been pretty efficient. But outside of them three, man, nobody really gets involved, bro. So if I'm Boston, hell, I'm going to live with a heavy dose in B. He ain't going to beat us, bro. He ain't in great enough shape to beat us. He ain't good enough condition. Nah. To beat us? Hell, nah. That's crazy. Because he had 21 shots. He's one of six from the three. Nah. Oubre didn't really give him anything. He had two points today. He normally been playing pretty decent in the series. Yeah. He was 0 for 6. Where did them damn two points come from? Free throw. that goddamn jason tatum boy my goodness man to come back to a rhythm today he caught rhythm to to to come back off an achilles bro and to to look the way he's looked this is why we put boston to at least be in the nba finals for sure i think i think they got a great chance of winning, honestly, because even if OKC make it to the finals, that damn Jalen Williams ain't going to be ready on that Ocho.

45:41Shannon Sharpe:Not to play at that, not to exert himself at that high level of basketball like that, that's going to be tough, bro. I'm trying to figure out how many threes they hit. They hit 24. 24-53. Yeah, 45%. They're looking to get up. They're looking to get up 50. They said all we got to do is we be somewhere between 17 and 20 a night. It's going to be hard unless you make 22, 23 a night. And that's going to be the problem for teams they play, Uncle Joe. If they shoot from an efficient clip like that, and the other team don't have them kind of sharp shooters behind the goddamn arc, you're going to fall behind so fast and have no way to get back in the game.

46:26You can't two and two and two and two your way in the game, and they coming down, hitting three after three after three. Yeah.

46:34Shannon Sharpe:You're right. It's going to be tough. But you look at Tatum with 11 assists. Man, when you got your best players making the game easy for everybody else and you get them going, you get them in a little rhythm. I like Shireman who comes off the bench, the little lefty. Oh, he let that three ball. He be letting it go. He letting it go. He ain't have a six tonight. He hit two three-pointers. But they were pretty pivotal. They were tough. Yeah, I like him. I like the way he plays, Arca Ochoa. He plays within the system. Yeah. And, hell, if you give him more shots, hell, he'll make more shots. Right.

47:07Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, they got to – hey, man, they got to pluck their guys. They can throw at you as well. And, you know, JB and JT, bro, they're taking the initiative to guard, play hard defensively, you know, not make it easy for you. And we'll let our defense fuel our offense so we can get out in transition, shoot transition threes, get to the bucket. it's going to be tough to beat them in a seven-game series, bro. I don't care who you are. So basically the way everything is looking right now, the Celtics are probably going back to the finals. Unless you see somebody in the East that's going to be able to give them a challenge that matches up.

47:45It's all about matchups. No matter what sport you're playing, it's all about matchups.

47:48Shannon Sharpe:Nobody really matches up well against them. So we can basically say they're going to the finals. Barring no one gets injured. Everyone stays healthy. I'm going to say they're going to go to the finals and the only team that matches up well against them probably not only the starting five but also has a bench that can do what they need to do as well that can score from a clip it's two teams two? yeah yeah I forgot about San Antonio yeah if you let a team plus 45 you from the three and then plus 21 you from the rebounding margin, you're losing. And you're going to lose in the fashion in which they lost.

48:35Shannon Sharpe:Absolutely right. You're going to lose by 32. They're plus 45 from the three and they're plus 21 on the boards. You're losing. Yeah. And I ain't saying they ain't playing no defense. I think they playing hard in Boston. They made shots tonight, but But, bro, I'm putting Embiid in the pick and roll every time. Okay, Ocho. Yeah, he ain't got no lateral movement. Hey, look, if you think you finna come down here and you think y 'all gonna force feed Embiid 10 straight times, hell, guess what? On the defense end, we finna force feed him too. Because his ass gonna have to guard. He gonna have to guard his pick and roll.

49:14Shannon Sharpe:Yep. That's why Embiid ain't gonna be able to beat him. Yep. The process is over. it's over Joe yeah the mistake that they made when they extended him and they didn't have to they gave him an additional four years at 193 million if they didn't do it somebody else was okay let them do it now you stuck with him well what happened was they done it right after he won their MVP after he won their MVP they probably were thinking we'll probably get another 2-3 years out of him like at this level of play and them injuries just started to bog down on him but he's been think about it the guy we say a guy limp into the limp into the season he lived into the league yeah he missed his first two years yeah that's how the process started yeah for real oh yeah they were doing all this now he's he's missed more games than he's actually played in his career yes

50:24Shannon Sharpe:see I think and Ocho you make a point like if we don't somebody else will okay let that car break down in somebody else's yard not in mine now you stuck so now what are you going to do Ocho he's on your books you probably owe him another 180 million dollars what you going to trade what you going to get you know I think too also Uncle Jeno because you understand what you get with a healthy because you ain't never you ain't getting another 7-1 player like that at that side but that kind of he's only been healthy one year in the league hold on he's been in the league since 2014 was his first year so he's been in the league 13 years one year he's been healthy

51:12Shannon Sharpe:you like those all so I'm gonna say you know what Ocho, Ocho been in the league 13 years. He's had one season in which he's had 100 catches. So you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to max him out. Nobody would do that. Nah. Nobody would do that. They're not doing that for any other player. It's not, it's not, it's fiscally, it's fiscally irresponsible. Man. So what do you do? You get off of him this summer? If you can, I don't know how you, I don't, I know you want to. I know you need to. I ain't offering you nothing. Somebody take him, though. I could have told you that. I'm not giving you no unprotected lottery picks for him.

51:56Shannon Sharpe:I'm not giving you somebody. I'm not giving you no unprotected picks. And I'm not giving you an all-star level player for him. I'm not, Joe. I'm not. How old is it B? Hey, Unc. Man, that boy. Hey, Joe. I sat there at the one Philly game I've been to. Hell, the only Philly basketball game I've been to. And I seen a healthy and B getting boys 70. Because of you at the game? Yep. I was all excited on nightcap that night because I ain't never seen nothing like that before. That was my first time going to a game where a player scored 70 goddamn points. Boy, he wasn't missing nothing, Joe. He wasn't missing nothing.

52:43Shannon Sharpe:Joe, Ocho, he's 32. So moving forward, you think he's going to be more healthy or less healthy than what he currently is? Hey, Uncle, at this point, he's already stuck in the routine that he's always been in. He's already stuck in it. So, again, I'm going to ask you and Joe, at 32, do you believe he'll be more healthy moving forward or less healthy moving forward? At 32, I think the right team could get another good two to three years out of him. And you want me to give up an unprotected pick or an all-star level player for that? I think somebody will do it. If you can keep him healthy, if you can keep him on the floor.

53:26Shannon Sharpe:I know. I know. I get it. I get it. I get it. I get it. I get it. I get it. I get it. Listen, sometimes a change of scenery, bro, you know, it'll have you in the right mind space. You know what I mean? What about his body? Would that go have his body in the right space? Hey, you still got to realize, even though people are very negative when it comes to Embiid, we understand he's played 13 years. He's had one healthy season in that 13. It's still Joel Embiid. We know what he gives you when he's healthy. it can't be it's not comparable he's one of the best if not the best big man in a goddamn game how many games did he miss did that guy miss think about it he's missed 400 games at least 400 400 games so think about it he's 32 12 13 years in so he got to the NBA so let that sink in So at 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, he's injured, hurt.

54:40Shannon Sharpe:At some point in time, he's missing time. Stomach issues, knee, ankle, something. 29, 30, 31, 32. But y 'all believe with the right team. Right nutritionist. So why would we get that nutritionist now? Who's to say he don't get one? Well, I saw him on the table eating McDonald's. So what nutrition is prescribing McDonald's? Joel Embiid, he's missed 485 regular season games. He's played 485 regular season games. He, as of March. So he's missed roughly 50 % of the games he's played. you're right. You're absolutely right. Now, this is what I'm getting. 2014-15, 15-16, he didn't play. In 16-17, they missed the playoffs.

55:44Shannon Sharpe:They got eliminated in the second round. They got eliminated in the second round. Eliminated in the first round. Eliminated in the second round. Eliminated in the second round. Eliminated in the second round. Missed the playoffs. Down 3-1. About to be eliminated in the first round. So exactly what am I getting, Joe? I ain't saying he going to be your best player. So why would I do the deal? Because I need you to tell me, because all I see is a bunch of first and second round exits, and he didn't make the playoffs. So you and Ocho need to explain to me, like I'm like, you know what? I really like basketball, but I'm young.

56:18Shannon Sharpe:So explain it to me like I'm 20, and I've just been watching basketball for the last four years. So explain to me what exactly am I getting. Okay, listen. You're going to be a guy who, he's going to be a guy who's going to be eager to prove people wrong. I think if you put him in the right, put him on the right team, he ain't got to be the number one guy. He needs to be a great piece to a puzzle who can use him, you know, maybe in Spurs. I just think Philly, they force feed him so damn much, trying to get him involved and everything, trying to run through him. When you got these young studs out here, they all going to always be out of rhythm.

56:56Shannon Sharpe:You think he going to go somewhere and be the second or third option? He ain't going to have no choice. I'm not going to be able to get anything out of him then. So you mean to tell me you want me to give an all-star level player, an unprotected pick, and for a guy, and you say he going to be the third option or he ain't got no choice? I'm going to need to Joel Embiid. Oh, you and Ocho say that when he's healthy, he's an MVP. And I'm not going to get that? Oh, no, I can't do this deal. Hey, listen. The MVP, I think that's out of question. But I think he can still get you 22, close to 25 a night.

57:35Shannon Sharpe:I think he can do that. What is that going to require? I got to do what with the ball? What I got to do to the ball? Who I got to give it to? Him. You just say he bogs down everybody. So now all of a sudden, it's going to be a six-lane highway. It's going to be boom, boom, boom with him on the court? We're going to whip him into some shape. We're going to get him in some better shape. Listen.

57:57Shannon Sharpe:You see what I'm saying? Now he's going to get him in shape at 33. Yeah, we're going to get him. Listen, he's going to be in a obviously, he's going to be in a better position. We're going to get him in some shape. Try to alleviate some of these injuries that he has. And hopefully we can squeeze out a good two to three years that he has in him. Till he's about 35. I think he can do that. So let me ask you a question. Do you think his weight's going to stay the same or decrease or move up as he gets older? Well, typically, as you age, it goes up if you're not working hard now. If you ain't working hard, hell yeah, it's going to go up.

58:37Shannon Sharpe:So I need you to explain to me why. Go ahead. If I put you in an environment that can help you succeed, maybe that'll change how you approach the game. You feel what I'm saying? Maybe you'll come in in better shape. Maybe you'll love hanging with your teammates, being around the guys. Send him to Miami then. Thank you, Joe. He need that militant trainer. How you think that's going to work out for him, Joe? Be honest. It depends on how he accept it. The man only played in Philly his whole career. Look, they probably just got a practice facility out there. They probably ain't policing him right over there.

59:18Shannon Sharpe:They probably let him do what he want. You know what I'm saying? See, that's what I'm going to tell my old lady. Why you treat him better than you treated me? I had you for 13 years and you wouldn't do right with me. See, now you go to church with him, but you went to the club with your girlfriends. You went to Cancun and Port-A-Connor. And you went to Nigeria. You went to Ghana with your girlfriends when you was with me. Yeah. But now you with him, y 'all go to church. Now you baking cookies. You cooking dinner. I couldn't get you to do anything. Like my grandma used to say, boy, I couldn't get him to G-Hawk.

59:51Shannon Sharpe:That's what we used to tell the muse. But now you want to do all this. Damn. I be damn. I be a monkey's uncle. I think him respecting, you know, Pat Riley and those guys, I think he would approach that a lot. Listen, if we talking about how it's been, how heat culture affects people, hell, and he knows that and he gets traded there, Man, he ain't got no choice but to accept it. Either accept it or you're going to be out. You're going to be out to leave. Now, how you think his coach is going to feel? How many coaches done got fired under Joel Embiid's watch? There's been a few.

1:00:34Shannon Sharpe:Spoh ain't going over there. No, whoa, whoa, whoa, Joe. Oh, Joe. Now, I'm feeling some type of way. I done lost my job. You wouldn't do anything that Joe will say you would do in Miami. to help me

1:00:52you know what they say you know you had a problem with your girl they say different you get a different version of a person depending on who they dealing with so maybe you wasn't the version of her to get her to cook

1:01:04Shannon Sharpe:what about the coaches he had three different versions of coaches he ain't had the same coaches I'm talking about the coaches how many general managers he done had two Hey, infrastructure may not be all the way tight. I don't know, man. Guys that are disciplined, it don't even matter about the infrastructure. You're right about that. If your foundation is solid, I don't care how hard the wind blows. Right. It's when you're structurally unsound that the least wind will blow your house down. that's not a that's not a an outer thing that's a him thing yeah yeah you gotta want it you gotta want it now

1:01:54and

1:01:55Shannon Sharpe:I don't know and he's gonna have to go somewhere where they don't got guys like Maxie cause I don't know coming in Joe I don't know going to a team and they got an elite level player they not taking a backseat this is the NBA everybody has a lead dog meaning a point guard who can score if they don't have one here they trying to get one okay well yeah point guards are like point guards are like quarterbacks nowadays guys you gotta have your elite point guard to be able to compete yeah look at San Antonio look at OKC and who plays the style that's conducive for Joel Embiid All I see is guys getting up and down the court shooting threes.

1:02:39Shannon Sharpe:Tell me the team that's thrown it to the big guy and let him do work, Joe. It ain't many. It ain't many. Outside of Denver, it ain't many. But, I mean, he was the MVP now. Are we sure? Yeah. Oh, you? What about Yoke that year? He was a bad boy that year. Hey. He won. He stayed healthy. He won. But my thing is, Joe, I just got to base it on your history. And you go get a loan, and you try to get another loan, and you ain't pay them people back. Or your credit ban. What's the likelihood? Are you getting a loan? What that make you do with your credit ban? They make you put cash down. And then the interest rate, you paying a cow to calf or arm in a league.

1:03:31Shannon Sharpe:When they give it to your monetary terms, you paying an ass load. My bad, let me take that back. Big time money. That still ain't monetary.

1:03:44Shannon Sharpe:Man, if his body, look, he was a phenomenal player. But I just can't base it. I just got to go by what I've seen and what we know. History is very, very important. What does this history say? When you go there and you have an illness, You have some type of, they ask you, what do they ask you? Your family history. What is your family history? So if I ask you, what is Joel Embiid's history, Joe, what are you going to tell me? Yeah, he's been hurt quite a bit. So now, family history. I got to do some things differently. Pocho, you got disease that run in your family. You do things differently than your mom, your grandma, your uncles, your aunts did because you know the history.

1:04:31Shannon Sharpe:Joel Embiid know the history. So what is the history? He's got to change some things. Getting in shape, the way he eats, the way he does certain things. Is he getting enough rest? I just can't. Give up a player that I believe in a couple years will be an all-star level talent. Unprotected picks for a guy that's the history is what it is. If you don't learn and understand and study history, you'll repeat it. Same thing with our guy Anthony Davis. We love him. What has happened everywhere he's been, Joe? He's been injury prone. He's got injured. We changed the scenery in the Pelicans. We changed the scenery to the Lakers.

1:05:21Shannon Sharpe:We changed the scenery to Dallas. Now he's in Washington. Well, when he left the Pelicans, he wouldn't want one in L.A. He won and won in L.A. But guess what happened? What was he? Injured? Yeah. He got to Dallas. He played his first game. And guess what happened, Joe? People that might have didn't see that. What happened his first game in Dallas? Hey, he was balling like a dog. And then somehow, someway, something went out. I think it's growing. Whoa, whoa, whoa. See? See what he did, Ocho? Oh, yeah, he had 26.13 rebounds. Got hurt and then boom. I just think, listen, when you look at Joel Embiid, Ocho, it ain't – man, listen, it ain't but what, one, two, two, maybe three guys, two guys in the NBA.

1:06:15Shannon Sharpe:That really played this him and Yoke. Yeah, it's him, bro. That really played with the back to the basket. They're going to get on the ball down the block and they can go work. You're not even finding Yoke. Listen, you're not even going to find these guys no more. They ain't even growing them like this no more. So when I say, yeah, somebody will take a chance for the next two to three years until he's 35, I'm telling you, man, watch. It's some teams who would gladly have him on their team. Hey, easy. Hey, Uncle Joe, you got to remember, we still talk about Joel Embiid. We still talk about an MVP player.

1:06:49Even though he's been injured, yes, but we know what we get. when he's healthy. We still talk about a three-level score. Down in the block, the mid-range. Hell, he can shoot the goddamn three. You leave his ass open too. Even if you contest it, he's still going to hit it in your face. We ain't just talk about no scrub. We talk about Joel Embiid. The only issue is with him is he's hurt so much. But they knew he was hurt a lot, Joe. Joe, they knew he was hurt a lot before it was time to give him that deal, right?

1:07:22Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. They knew. But we know what we get when he's healthy, so we're going to pay him anyway. Joe's an Ocho, Ocho, the type of guy, I got a good lady except when she's sleeping with the neighborhood. But she's great. Except when she's doing that. I mean, she cook for me, Joe. I mean, she wash my clothes. She's very supportive. Except those three nights a week when she out there and they're raking across the coals. Oh, man. But she don't know. she don't know when she's doing all that you can have that you can have that oh but you want me to take joel and bead somebody yeah you see what he did now i mean i can't believe you ocho i can't believe you ed joe see the value hey the value is different in that that example you just use there's value extreme value in joel and bead a healthy yes i got a good car when it crank But what happened, Joe, you grew up in the South, you know the car would only not crank when you really needed to go somewhere.

1:08:29Shannon Sharpe:Or you was really in a hurry. And then when you go out there,

1:08:36Shannon Sharpe:got him, buddy. Now when you weren't trying to go nowhere, boom, boom. Yeah, yeah. Joe Labee, the moment it come playoff time, or the...

1:08:52I mean, hey, we doing all this conversation about Joel and B being hurt, right? Yes. The people that write them checks, they don't care about what we say. Everybody in the chat, oh, you don't know what you're talking about? They paying him. They paid him even with everything we're saying. So obviously, they know something that we don't. I'm only saying what I see. Even when he's hurt, I understand it. He misses a lot of games. They knew he missed a lot of games. But they understand the value that he brings to that team when he's healthy, which is why they gave him the money they gave him.

1:09:29Shannon Sharpe:Well, they was already heavily invested. Yes. I mean, hell, we had entrusted the process for how long? I'm just keeping it 100. I'm just keeping it. Hell, how long were we trusting the process, Ojo? You know, it was a minute. It was a minute. It was a process. So when you do give him, when he does start to play well and he starts to, you know, rack up these accolades, MVPs, hell, he done forced your hand. How are you going to get rid of an MVP? You got to pay him. Yeah.

1:10:10It's, you know why?

1:10:13Shannon Sharpe:because everybody think it he or she will be different with me

1:10:21Shannon Sharpe:he won't do he won't do to me what he or she did to them the devil is a lie everybody believe that and eventually we are what I think it was Amundsen well he's credited with that we are what what we repeatedly do. Maybe it wasn't Amundsen. No, Amundsen said,

1:10:48Shannon Sharpe:victory goes to those that are prepared. Look, some call it. I think Amundsen said that. Who said, we are what we repeatedly do? Confucius? Therefore, it's not an act. Nah, that must have been, that must have been Epictetus. Who? A stoic philosopher. Who? Because whoever, there was someone that got credited for it, but they say he didn't say it.

1:11:20Hey, one thing about it, Joe and Unc, a zebra never changes stripes. A cheetah gonna always have them spots. I don't care what environment you put them in, them stripes and them spots gonna always be there. That ain't going nowhere.

1:11:38Shannon Sharpe:Aristotle, yeah, but he didn't say it. Epictetus. I like that name. Yeah, look him up, man. He a stoic philosopher, Ojo. All right, according to Shams, Anthony Edwards has sustained a bone bruise and a hyperextension in his left knee. He's expected to miss multiple weeks. Results showed Edwards avoided any ligament damage but will now miss time. Joe, can the Timberwolves, we know Devo is gone. Devin Chinzo, he's gone for the year with the Achilles injury. Can they sustain? How far can they go? Can they beat San Antonio if they get by the Nuggets? First of all, can they get by the Nuggets? And if they get by the Nuggets, how far can they go against the Spurs without Devo and Ant-Man?

1:12:24Shannon Sharpe:I don't know. I'm going to be honest with y 'all. It's going to be hell for them to get past some Nuggets now. You know, knowing that Ant-Man is out, hey, Devin Chinzo out. I mean, because those guys, you know, they add so much. Obviously, Ant-Man, we know how dynamic he is, but the outside shooting of Devin Chinzo, you know, his energy and effort on the defensive end, I just think when you take away those two and you're looking for Dasamu to continue to play great, because I think he's been great this whole series, but damn, to put the Nuggets away, bro, under these conditions, it's going to be tough, because I'm going to be honest with y 'all.

1:13:04Shannon Sharpe:I don't think Timberwolves are going to win tomorrow in Denver. And I think Denver will gain confidence going back to Minnesota. And I think they got a great chance to come back from 3-1, fellas. If y 'all just want me to keep it 100, I think they got a great chance. Yeah, I think they got a great chance, Ocho. I got you. You're right. You're right. Listen, when it comes to the Wolves, right, who's going to make up for the production Anthony Edwards gives you every night? Somebody got to step up to the plate. A.O. did what he did. Now, do you believe he can replicate that again, Joe? I don't know if he can replicate that, but I think Randall and McDaniels can obviously play way better.

1:13:48Shannon Sharpe:I think Randall can go out and get you 30. I think McDaniels can go out and get you anywhere from 20 to 25 and be a defensive paralysis. I think they can do it. It's just going to be challenging because I don't know if they've ever been in this position to where without Ant-Man, without DiVincenzo, that they've had to go out and win a game. All they got to do is win one game, but it's going to be hell. I agree. I definitely agree. It's going to be tough for them to.

1:14:22Shannon Sharpe:The Nuggets are thinking, let's win this game. Let's go back to Minnesota. Yeah, that's it. All we got to do is win one game. Let's go back to Minnesota. Let's see if they can play that way again. let's see if Rudy Rudy's had a great two games he giving Yoke as hell boy and Denver still pissed off about that little layup he got the other night too they gonna be fueled off that hey Unk and Joe I seen a clip with Jaden McDaniels he don't play he some type of enforcer or something well I think listen the clips I saw it's like he isaiah stewart he had that one yeah well you got it was bait i think it was bait if you just want me to be honest with you meaning like yokich ran up on him but yokich knew he wasn't gonna throw no punch at him but he wanted mcdaniel's to probably do something to get himself suspended right for a game or two okay he did he held himself with great composure but hey man People, hey, guys in this league, bro, they don't take it too lightly.

1:15:30Shannon Sharpe:You know, when you get you a little cheap basket at the end and y 'all are already whooping our butt. You see how fast that man sprinted down there? Hey, he should have used all that energy during the goddamn game. Sprint back on defense. But here's my thing, Joe. I ain't going to get no layup if you're not trying to score. Were you guys trying to score? Right. Because I didn't see y 'all guys. I didn't see y 'all guys get the ball and dribble out. It's like, okay, let the shot, let the shot, let the clock run out. Yeah. And then turn the ball to the official. Yeah. I didn't see that. I saw y 'all still trying to score.

1:16:02Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Okay. Oh, yeah. So, y 'all not finna be the only one that's trying to score. Right. Because y 'all trying to get cheap baskets. I might as well go and get me one, too. Make my numbers look a little better. Absolutely. You trying to get some cheap baskets. Oh, such and such has. Had 18 points. Yeah, but he got four of those with the last 20 seconds to get some cheap. Absolutely not. So, hey, let's have another underwritten rule. You down by 10 points and it's 20 seconds left. Right. Don't you try to score. No, yeah, don't try to score. And guess what? If I hit the rebound, I ain't going to push it ahead, then I'm not going to try to score.

1:16:39Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. If you try to score on one end, you best believe I'm trying to come right back at you. Mm-hmm. So what we doing? Yeah. Hey, nah, I feel you on that. I feel you on that.
